Following May Day protests that resulted in 418 arrests (up from 409 reported yesterday), attention shifted to a controversial incident involving a CHP bus driver allegedly driving toward police officers. Interior Minister Yerlikaya shared video footage, calling it "a threat to public order," while CHP officials disputed this characterization.

President Erdoğan made two significant public appearances: at an international energy summit where he declared Turkey's "strategic position in global energy," and at the International Green Crescent Federation Forum where he criticized opposition concerns about alcohol prices, saying they "worry about the price of raki, whiskey, beer."

Istanbul Mayor İmamoğlu, from prison, released a documentary titled "How the March 19 Coup Was Carried Out," referring to his imprisonment. Meanwhile, opposition leader Özgür Özel called for supporters to attend tomorrow's rally in Konya, where armed attacks on CHP officials had been reported yesterday.
